Journal ArticleDOI

MicroRNA gene expression profile of hepatitis C virus–associated hepatocellular carcinoma

TL;DR: A subset of microRNAs are aberrantly expressed in primary liver tumors, serving both as putative tumor suppressors and as oncogenic regulators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of the gene of the α-smooth muscle-actin isoform in rat liver and in rat fat-storing (ITO) cells

TL;DR: It is suggested thatFat storing cells in the liver are smooth muscle-related myo-fibroblasts with special functions, as α-SM-actin isoform gene expression was strongly increased in the rat liver after acute or chronic damage induced by treatment with carbon tetrachloride.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the overlap syndrome of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and autoimmune hepatitis: Evidence for it being a hepatitic form of PBC in genetically susceptible individuals

TL;DR: It is suggested that therapy of PBC should be guided by the degree of biochemical and histological hepatic involvement, and the name “overlap syndrome” should be abandoned for “PBC, hepatitic form.”
Journal ArticleDOI

Atorvastatin attenuates hepatic fibrosis in rats after bile duct ligation via decreased turnover of hepatic stellate cells

TL;DR: Prophylactic and early therapy with atorvastatin significantly attenuated fibrosis and HSC activation and led to a more quiescent state of HSC with less proliferation and apoptosis, while hepatic inflammation did not change.
